Maj. Hamza Al-Mustapha, a former Chief Security Officer to Nigeria’s late Head of State, General Sani Abacha, dismisses claims by retired Department of State Services (DSS) operative Dennis Amachree about Abacha’s final moments and cause of death. Across reports, Al-Mustapha says Amachree’s account is not true and urges the public to disregard it. The outlets describe Al-Mustapha’s response as a direct denial of the statements made by the ex-DSS officer concerning what happened before Abacha died.
The coverage presents Al-Mustapha’s position: he challenges the credibility of the claims and characterizes them as false, including assertions that relate to how Abacha died. The articles do not add new verified details from other sources about the circumstances of Abacha’s death; instead, they focus on the dispute between Al-Mustapha and the former DSS operative and the call to treat the contested narrative with caution. The matter remains framed as a disagreement over the accuracy of the ex-DSS officer’s testimony about Abacha’s death.
